Today, this post will guide you on what to look for in a perfect Digital Marketer.

Here you go with the Essentials you should look in a Digital Marketing Manager:

Look for Value:

Always look for value in everything you do or everyone you hire. I have seen people going after money or going after ‘Saving Money’. But trust me it doesn’t benefit them at all.

Value is everything you should look for, if it’s valuable, then go for it and if it’s not then leave no matter how trending or how popular it is.

Same is the case with hiring a digital marketing manager. Hire someone who is offering you with Value. Go for Value-based Pricing.

If you are currently getting a return of certain amount and the manager guarantees you that with his marketing skills, you can increase your success metrics (like lead generation or revenue) by 60-70% percent then you should definitely go for it, provided that the previous records support his claim.

And for the opposite outcome, a minimum rate should be settled, so in case he does fulfil that promise; he shall be paid with that amount.

Go for Specialists:

Currently, you will come across a lot of mediums on which digital marketing has been done. There are agencies; big ones and the small ones. Then there are freelancers and then there specialists who are being hired.

Well, I suggest you that instead of going for an agency and outsourcing your digital marketing to them, you should go for hiring specialists.

Why?

Because he is working with you, in front of your eyes. You can ask him for changes, you can make him understand what exactly you want.

He knows your product inside out and his whole concentration is on your product only without any distractions or multiple other products.

There would be much higher accountability as well, along with the specialization that he has.

So, you will get the kind of feeling like you own his expertise and your product is getting the desired attention it wants.

Identify by KPIs:

You need to judge the applicants by identifying your KPIs or the Key Performance Indicators.

Firstly, identify what are your major KPIs, what matters for your company and in what elements you basically want to have a better performance than before.
